Package: exim4
Version: 4.80-7
Severity: important
After upgradading debian to woody I started to get exim crashed for some
emails (a few emails for few thousand deliveries).
Email is delivered to exim, put into the queue, and never delivered.
Running the queue gives error message:
queue run: process 2795 crashed with signal 11 while delivering 1WNfPp-0000ft-T3
I have taken that email and tried to modify it to make the smallest
possible data that causes exim crashes. The file "test.txt" contains
such data (tab idented):
To: zbigniew grzybacz <zbigniew.grzybacz at dubielvitrum.pl>,
=?ISO-8859-2?Q?Stanis=B3aw_Filas?= <stanislaw.filas at dubielvitrum.pl>,
patalita.marcin at dubielvitrum.pl, phcb at dubielvitrum.pl
Subject: test
crash test
Command "cat -A text.txt" gives:
To: zbigniew grzybacz <zbigniew.grzybacz at dubielvitrum.pl>, $
=?ISO-8859-2?Q?Stanis=B3aw_Filas?= <stanislaw.filas at dubielvitrum.pl>, $
patalita.marcin at dubielvitrum.pl, phcb at dubielvitrum.pl$
Subject: test$
$
crash test$
And here is output of " cat test.txt | base64":

Now I feed this file to exim: "cat test.txt | exim -t". No errors
reported.
Then I run "exim -qf", and get error message:
2014-03-12 10:25:38 queue run: process 2795 crashed with signal 11 while delivering 1WNfPp-0000ft-T3
Command "exim -bp" shows:
0m 503 1WNfPp-0000ft-T3 <root at dubielvitrum.pl>
zbigniew.grzybacz at dubielvitrum.pl
stanislaw.filas at dubielvitrum.pl
patalita.marcin at dubielvitrum.pl
phcb at dubielvitrum.pl
What is STRANGE: when running queue in debugging mode "exim -d -qf"
message is DELIVERED.
